Burning Man is pretty big so there just might be something else out there but I sure haven't found it yet. For sure not on the Esplanade. There are numerous tiki or quasi-tiki themed art cars, some of which are pretty sweet. Burning Man has been bugging me for years to start a tiki village (a conglomeration of tiki camps) but I'm not the best organizer and haven't been able to generate any interest. If other tiki freaks out there are interested we could get some really killer BM real estate. I have an Oakland warehouse home base where alot of cool tiki stuff is stored including those original Bobby Bumatai statues you wanted to check out years ago. Let me know.

Tiki art to be brought to the playa next year is in the early planning stages now! We need the involvement of the tiki community to keep this going and keep it fresh.

News Flash: An edited version of Shipwreck Tiki Lounge will be at the Burning Man Decompression party in L.A. State Historical Park Oct 2nd. A rare L.A. appearance, a great chance to meet and greet and see what tiki at Burning Man is all about.

To make that happen I'd have to drive halfway to San Diego to San Miguel or somewhere and i'm not sure i have time for that. But we'll see, I'm working on it. You got anybody headed that way next week? Might earn themselves a mug or two. (Remember they also have to be boxed.) For our Burning man Decompression LA our edited version of Shipwreck Tiki Lounge will include the new really cool driftwood bar with thatch roof, the new huge black light tiki prints, and plenty of flotsam and jetsum. We'll smuggle in some grog so if you identify yourself as a tiki centralite they'll be no need for you to pay sky high drink prices (that is if you can stand the swill we serve). Hope to see ya.
